was just about to ask did you put the fire ring on the wastegate? glad that you found the problem bro enjoy the turbo!

 

thanks guys!! yea i dont want to fully smash on it yet since ive just installed my 272 kelford cams and gt35... i need to tune it first with my fic1050s... u guys think cam sprockets will help? i bought some awhile back but didnt install it yet... not too sure if its gonna make any difference...

 

I wouldn't bother with the cam gears, the 0 degree setting will probably end up being the best anyway. I know somebody with those cams and they tried cam gears and lost power. 0 degree setting netted best results. Of course if you have the right setup you might be able to take advantage of them, but I wouldn't think it's even worth the hassle. Hell, he is making high 700whp range with them at stock settings, so that shows you how necessary it is.

 

Fre, quit spreading bad gouge. Any motor with k272's will benefit from the use of adjustable cam gears, otherwise they wouldn't exist.

 

welp since i already have a set of aem might as well install them before i tune it.. hopefully get the best out of those kelfords... anyone know where to set them at!? or whose running similar setup.. but still DANG this turbo is laggy!!

 

ic pipe blow off somewhere if the boost guage wont go past 0 that is what is def is even with a vac leak you can still build boost check all your ic pipes from turbo to throttle body.

 

Not spreading bad info, just what I have seen from experience. I did not say they can't help you in any circumstances, I am saying from what I have seen first hand, they either don't help or provide very minimal gains for the PITA it is to dial them in.

As far as not existing goes, like I said, they can help with certain setups/situations (like if you grind your head too many times or have extreme cams that require them), but from what I have seen on a local person's 780whp evo, it did not help and with his 1000whp talon it only helped a little. Like I said, just from my observations of his experience. I would venture to guess he knows what he is doing, since he has run high 8's in his talon and high 9's now in his evo.

 

Damn!

Glad you sorted things out m8!
